Serving Amounts

[tnfirefighter]

Sorry for all the questions I am curious about serving sizes. When I plan meals: protein and salad with veggies.
I eat an obscene amount of salad and veggies. Im willing to bet its around 3-4 servings at a time. But even with that amount I am still within calorie needs. Do I need to cut this down to just 1 serving of salad and 1 serving of vegetable with 1 serving of protien? Any advice is appreciated.

Don't apologise.

Depends on your weight for example.

What weight and roughly what calorie intake are you?

Essentially you would be looking for around 20-40g protein per meal, based on weight, and roughly 30-50g Carbs based on weight, and probably an approximate average of 4-10g Fats per meal, based on weight.

That's just opnion.

Also with Carbs, you needn't go above 50g Fibre a day.

I am 5' 9"

according to a calorie calculator I need around 3000 cals to maintiain. I am at 2000-2300 right now.

6:00 breakfast
1 cup oatmeal 1 banana (300 cals)

9:00
apple 2 tblsp peanut butter 1oz non fat mozz cheese (250 cals)

12:00

4:00 egg salad 1 yolk & 1 white, brocolli and sallad (200-250 cals)

7:00 tuna fish cole slaw and salad (300 cals)

7:30 wt training and cardio

9:00 protein shake (300 cals)

10:00 protein salad and veggie around (400 cals)

This what I have eaten and plan to eat today. Around 2150 cals Swanso5 had advised earlier not to count calories, just eat clean, Im just concerned with eating so much food even if its below caloric requirments. I was told in the military if you eat to much your stomach will stretch and you will be hungry all the time. Dont laugh thats what I was told

[swanso5]

- have a smany as you want and / or need
- stretched stomach...you can't make that shit up...really you can't
- add solid protein to meal 2
- add some simple carbs to post training meal
